2018 IDAHO

MENNONITE WORLD RELIEF

FESTIVAL WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!

Many thanks to all of you who were able to join us on Saturday, April 21, for our fundraising festival. Your participation helped us have a successful event.

This year we chose the broad category of “Relief” for our fundraising focus. There are so many things happening in our world, from natural disasters to political issues worldwide, that it seemed appropriate to designate our Festival proceeds to be used by MCC for relief situations.

Our speaker was Nate Yoder, Executive Director of West Coast MCC. He spoke during the morning gathering time. We also enjoyed the musical talents of Les Gustafson-Zook. “My Coins Count” and a special auction item were also featured during the Festival. Nate Yoder
